Step Counter - Pedometer

What it does

Step Counter - Pedometer records your daily steps using the phone’s built-in motion sensor rather than relying on continuous GPS. It is suited to people who want a straightforward walking tracker that runs in the background without turning fitness tracking into a full social or coaching platform. The app is made by Leap Fitness Group and is listed in Health & Fitness.

Useful tracking without a login

You can start or pause tracking with a tap, review activity across daily, weekly and monthly views, and use graphs to see how your walking changes over time. The app does not require an account, which keeps the setup simple for users who prefer to keep their activity data on their own device. Google Fit and Samsung Health support can also help bring step records into a wider health setup.

Backup and everyday use

Google Drive backup is available for preserving or moving your history between devices. The interface is built around quick checks rather than detailed workout planning, and colour themes provide a small amount of personalisation. As with other sensor-based pedometers, results can vary between phones, particularly when a device’s power-saving settings restrict background activity.

Why it stands out

The app has a 4.86 rating from more than 1.64 million reviews and has passed 100 million installs. Those figures point to a well-established choice for basic step tracking. It fits best if you want a focused counter, readable history and optional health-service syncing, rather than GPS route maps or a feature-heavy training system.
